Album Notes
'Smokey Robinson and The Miracles Definitive Performances: 1963 - 1987'' features for the first time on DVD 14 full-length performances from classic archival television appearances spanning three decades. This 2-1/2 hour DVD is the first official video anthology by one of the most successful singing groups of all time. Highlights include a powerful performance of ''You've Really Got A Hold On Me'' filmed at the famed Apollo Theatre in 1963, a moving performance of ''Ooh Baby Baby'' filmed in concert in 1965 and a 1976 performance of The Miracles' ''Love Machine'' featuring lead singer Billy Griffin. The disc concludes with three solo performances by Smokey Robinson including his Grammy-winning hit ''Just To See Her'' filmed in 1987. Interspersed between the performances and filmed exclusively for this DVD, is the first ever in-depth interview with Smokey and original Miracles Pete Moore and Bobby Rogers. Throughout the insightful 75-minute interview, the three Miracles reminisce about the history of the group, Motown, the Apollo and the inspiration behind many of their classic hits.
